Question

HOW CAN I LEARN TO ESTIMATE DRYWALL?

Answer 1

It's simple math really. Length x width = area. Sheet rock comes in various sizes like 4x8', 4x10', 4x12', and also in 54" widths. Just divide your total area in square feet by the area of the sheets you will be using. Of course you'll have to allow for waste, that's unavoidable.
